Raspberry Pi-based control
A Raspberry Pi runs the robot — a real Linux computer you can develop on, not a locked-down toy controller.
VISITOR LX-1
The first robot from Lumalien Robotics.
A compact open-source robot you build yourself.Real hardware, a printed shell, and software you own.
Built, tested, and ready for your desk.
Meet VISITOR LX-1
VISITOR LX-1 is the first robot built on the Lumalien platform.
Every component has been tested, redesigned, and documented, then turned into something you can build yourself.
What VISITOR LX-1 does
The platform is built around LumaKit(opens in a new tab) and real robotics hardware.
Battery monitoring
An onboard battery system powers the Pi, with charge telemetry read directly from the power hardware.
Camera vision
A forward-facing camera mounted in the shell gives VISITOR LX-1 eyes.
Independent motor control
Two independently driven wheels give VISITOR LX-1 differential steering, driven through a dedicated motor controller.
Distance and obstacle sensing
A time-of-flight distance sensor lets VISITOR LX-1 see obstacles ahead of it and drive around them.
Wireless control
Development and control happen over Wi-Fi, so the robot works without a keyboard or monitor attached.
Open-source robotics software
A sense–decide–act control loop with simulation tooling, developed in the open from the start.
Expandable AI capabilities
VISITOR LX-1 is built to connect to open-source AI agent software, so you can teach it new behaviors.
Get VISITOR LX-1
VISITOR LX-1 is available now. The first run is limited — get yours while it lasts.
